Detailed Description

Energy Efficiency

The usage of automated functions already save energy in every installation. Especially the usage of KNX has a lot of potential for further energy savings, which can contribute to a better environmental footprint. Be extending KNX to more functions and applications, energy savings of up to 60% can be realised. Thanks to the flexibility of KNX, these functions can easily be implemented in this installation

Innovation

Smart homes and buildings are always an upgrade in comparison to a conventional installation. Not only automated functions and a higher level of comfort contribute to a higher living standard, but also the possibility to be ready for coming innovations. Thanks to the usage of KNX, the door has been opened to integrate new innovative solutions, using the worldwide STANDARD for home and building control.

Customers Description

Nous avons construit, en partenariat avec l’école nationale d'architecture de Grenoble, un prototype de bâtiment a faible empreinte environnementale (en terre et bois). Il a été entièrement conçu et réalisé par des étudiants. Le prototype représente un immeuble ou les appartements sont évolutifs en surface, mais aussi en utilisation. La recherche de performances énergétique associés aux contraintes liés a la flexibilité et aux matériaux sont grandes. Le premier étage est sert de maison de quartier, le second de plateforme d'expérimentation. La gestion technique de l'immeuble est réalisée.
